With lightness and drama Diamonds & Pearls, the new porcelain collection of the German manufacturer KAHLA, is fulfilling the desire of the modern gourmet and creating an atmosphere of well-being at the table. KAHLA’s successful designers Barbara Schmidt and Mirjami Rissanen have united their skills in the ten-part porcelain series, which is especially designed for the demands of international food and beverage. Reminiscent of soft pearls and irregular crystals, the porcelain accessories will premiere at the fairs Maison & Objet in Paris (25th – 29th January 2008) and Ambiente in Frankfurt (8th – 12th February 2008).
A sense of imagination presents an uncomplicated dining experience garnished with Diamonds & Pearls. The designers have formed independent design highlights in pure white creating design harmony with complimentary KAHLA collections: Diamonds & Pearls - jewels for the table. Two thematically combined, yet uniquely designed pieces were the result: Diamonds by Barbara Schmidt and Pearls by Mirjami Rissanen.
Diamonds
Diamonds consists of three plates and two bowls which have the form of natural crystals which are slightly irregular while maintaining soft contours. This geometric collection can be presented in endless combinations whether being stacked, arranged on top of one another or side by side creating a new structure each time. A dramatic effect is created by the crystal structured bottom which projects its image upon the upper portion of the porcelain. This display is particularly striking in contrast with modern culinary creations.
Pearls
The bowls of Pearls are characterized by a collar offering a surface to touch or to stage cuisine. The shape is reminiscent of scallop shells cradling their pearls inside. The collection consists of three bowls which are perfect for tapas or beverage, especially tea and wellness drinks. The set of bowls is completed by a small teapot with an elegant handle and a gently sloped lid that can be used for placing a tea bag. One of the highlight of Pearls is a diminutive bowl for canapés, desserts or snacks that comfortably nests in one hand. It’s a true gem that may soon become to the collection’s favourite accessory.
Diamonds & Pearls is a collection for every-day use or a stylish soirée. Amouse bouche, soup, salad, pasta, meat, fish, dessert, espresso, tea – the possibilities are only limited by one’s imagination with Diamonds & Pearls. The bowls and plates can be used for any kind of meal or appetizer, either on their own, combined with each other or with pieces from other flattering KAHLA porcelain collections. KAHLA removes the barriers of traditional uniformity, stimulating the senses and allowing freedom of expression. All of this is offered by the new KAHLA collection Diamonds & Pearls.
